SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation is available at https://www.reginfo.gov. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to— (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Information Collection Requirement 1652–0003; Security Programs for Aircraft Operators, 49 CFR part 1544. TSA is seeking to renew its OMB control number, 1652–0003, Aircraft Operator Security. TSA uses the information collected to determine compliance with 49 CFR part 1544 and to ensure the freedom of movement for people and commerce by monitoring aircraft operator security procedures. TSA has implemented aircraft operator security standards at 49 CFR part 1544 to require all aircraft operators to which PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 this part applies to adopt and implement a security program. These TSA-approved security programs establish procedures that aircraft operators must carry out to protect persons and property traveling on flights provided by the aircraft operator against acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy, and the introduction of explosives, incendiaries, or weapons aboard an aircraft. This information collection is mandatory for aircraft operators. As part of their security programs, affected aircraft operators are required to maintain and update, as necessary, records of compliance with the security program provisions set forth in 49 CFR part 1544, including compliance with applicable Security Directives. This regulation also requires affected aircraft operators to make their security programs and associated records available for inspection and copying by TSA to ensure transportation security and regulatory compliance. The information TSA collects includes identifying information on aircraft operators’ flight crews and passengers. The requirement encompasses vetting of the entire flight crew, other aircraft operator personnel, and all passengers. The passenger watch list checks currently conducted by aircraft operators will soon be taken over by TSA’s Secure Flight program. Under this program, TSA will conduct the checks for the aircraft operators, which will reduce their burden as described in this ICR. (See OMB control number 1652–0046). Aircraft operators are required to provide this information via electronic means. Aircraft operators with limited electronic systems may need to modify their current systems or generate a new computer system in order to submit the requested information but are not restricted to these means. Part 1544 also requires aircraft operators to ensure that flight crew members and employees with unescorted access authority or who perform screening, checked baggage, or cargo functions submit to and receive a criminal history records check (CHRC). As part of the CHRC process, the individual must provide identifying information, including fingerprints. Additionally, aircraft operators must maintain these records and make them available to TSA for inspection and copying upon request. Part 1544 also governs recordkeeping requirements for aircraft operators holding a full All-Cargo Standard Security Program; however, their hour burden has been separately reported under OMB control number 1652–0040.

Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone 202–366–9826. 29569 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal Emergency Management Agency Background and Purpose [Docket ID FEMA–2010–0031] A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed under Title 33, Code of Federal Regulation, Parts 81 and 89, has been issued for the offshore supply vessel JANSON R. GRAHAM, O.N. 1222117. Full compliance with 72 COLREGS and Inland Rules Act would hinder the vessel’s ability to maneuver within close proximity of offshore platforms. The forward masthead light may be located on the top forward portion of the pilothouse 6.2 meters above the hull. Placing the forward masthead light at the height required by Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of the 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.03(a) of the Inland rules Act would result in a masthead light location highly susceptible to damage when working in close proximity to offshore platforms. Additionally, the horizontal distance between the forward and aft masthead lights may be 2.489 meters. Placing the aft masthead light at the horizontal distance from the forward masthead light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of the 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act would result in an aft masthead light location directly over the aft cargo deck where it would interfere with loading and unloading operations. The Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the vertical placement of the forward masthead light to deviate from requirements set forth in Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.03(a) of the Inland Rules Act. In addition the Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the horizontal separation of the forward and aft masthead lights to deviate from the requirements of Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act.

SUMMARY: This document provides notice of the final Recovery Policy RP9526.1, Hazard Mitigation Funding Under Section 406 (Stafford Act), which is being issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). DATES: This policy is effective March 30, 2010. ADDRESSES: This final policy is available online at https://www.regulations.gov under docket ID FEMA–2010–0031 and on FEMA’s Web site at https:// www.fema.gov. You may also view a hard copy of the final policy at the Office of Chief Counsel, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Room 835, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472–3100. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lu Juana Richardson, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472, via e-mail at LuJuana.Richardson@dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This policy provides guidance on the appropriate use of hazard mitigation discretionary funding available under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5172. This will ensure national consistency in the use of Section 406 mitigation funds and promote measures that reduce future loss to life and property, protect the Federal investment in public infrastructure and ultimately help build disaster-resistant communities. FEMA has revised this policy to reflect the alignment of benefit cost analysis methodologies between the Mitigation and Recovery Directorates. In order to achieve consistency across program areas and to maximize FEMA’s ability to support and encourage costeffective hazard mitigation, the Public Assistance Division has adopted the Mitigation Directorate’s Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) methodology for Section 406 hazard mitigation projects. Previously, the only benefits considered in the BCA were damage to the facility E:\FR\FM\26MYN1.SGM 26MYN1

Information Collection Requirement

    1652-0003; Security Programs for Aircraft Operators, 49 CFR part 
1544. TSA is seeking to renew its OMB control number, 1652-0003, 
Aircraft Operator Security. TSA uses the information collected to 
determine compliance with 49 CFR part 1544 and to ensure the freedom of 
movement for people and commerce by monitoring aircraft operator 
security procedures. TSA has implemented aircraft operator security 
standards at 49 CFR part 1544 to require all aircraft operators to 
which this part applies to adopt and implement a security program. 
These TSA-approved security programs establish procedures that aircraft 
operators must carry out to protect persons and property traveling on 
flights provided by the aircraft operator against acts of criminal 
violence, aircraft piracy, and the introduction of explosives, 
incendiaries, or weapons aboard an aircraft.
    This information collection is mandatory for aircraft operators. As 
part of their security programs, affected aircraft operators are 
required to maintain and update, as necessary, records of compliance 
with the security program provisions set forth in 49 CFR part 1544, 
including compliance with applicable Security Directives. This 
regulation also requires affected aircraft operators to make their 
security programs and associated records available for inspection and 
copying by TSA to ensure transportation security and regulatory 
compliance.
    The information TSA collects includes identifying information on 
aircraft operators' flight crews and passengers. The requirement 
encompasses vetting of the entire flight crew, other aircraft operator 
personnel, and all passengers. The passenger watch list checks 
currently conducted by aircraft operators will soon be taken over by 
TSA's Secure Flight program. Under this program, TSA will conduct the 
checks for the aircraft operators, which will reduce their burden as 
described in this ICR. (See OMB control number 1652-0046).
    Aircraft operators are required to provide this information via 
electronic means. Aircraft operators with limited electronic systems 
may need to modify their current systems or generate a new computer 
system in order to submit the requested information but are not 
restricted to these means.
    Part 1544 also requires aircraft operators to ensure that flight 
crew members and employees with unescorted access authority or who 
perform screening, checked baggage, or cargo functions submit to and 
receive a criminal history records check (CHRC). As part of the CHRC 
process, the individual must provide identifying information, including 
fingerprints. Additionally, aircraft operators must maintain these 
records and make them available to TSA for inspection and copying upon 
request.
    Part 1544 also governs recordkeeping requirements for aircraft 
operators holding a full All-Cargo Standard Security Program; however, 
their hour burden has been separately reported under OMB control number 
1652-0040.
